SUNDAY SERMON.

The text this morning is taken from
the account given by Matthew ant
Mark of the overturning of the table
of the money changers in the tempt
at Jerusalem. Christ said: SIS j
not written, my house shall be callet
Of all nations the house of prayer, bu
We have made it den of thieves. "
the new version says robbers.
Jerusalem, as all our hearers know
was place to which the faithful al
flocked to worship, and the persons
who came from a distance naturally
brought with them the money current
in their respectives localities, so that
it was doubtless the habit of the
money changers to furnish the ex
change at the door of the temple, and
FIR the service exacted a liberal com.
mission. Christ's language and &C
tions would seem to imply very forci'
bly, that they were the worst of ex-
tortioners.
1t is not said that the occurrence
took place on the Sabbath, and yet
that is fair inference, since it was
at a time of worship. The money
changers were undoubtedly "bounc-
ed" if we may use the word,
not because they were breaking
the Sabbath, but because they were
usurers or robbers and thieves. Al
the time Christ was called to account
for breaking the Sabbath by journey
ing and gathering corn, he made it
known that Sabbath breaking was a
matter largely of circumstances.
There might be good occasion for do
ing secular things on the Sabbath.
But in the matter of usury and gain
getting. Christ was always severe.
Swindling and taking Unfair advan-
tage was apparently his special abhor
ance, and it must go upon record that
the only instance in His life which
could by any possibility be construed
into an exhibition of temper was occa-
stoned by the unfair acquisition OF
1t is therefore fair to infer
that our congregation will do well to
begin the new week with renewed
to deal fairly with all men, to
exact only that which is justly due.
and to scrupulously pay all that you
owe-including the subscription to the

that these crofter holdings are on land

Teaching Foreign Languages.

lChchhh6 fOhOi6h Aoh6 uoSOc'
Post Dispatch E-
A question before the legislature,
which has a deeper interest for the
people of st. Louis than for any other
part of the state is the question OF
teaching foreign languages in the
public schools. The Shaw bill to
prohibit the teaching of foreign
languages in the public schools is
directed chiefly against the teaching
of German in the st. Louis schools
This, of course, is a question which
the people of St. Louis should be left
to settle for themselves. If they do
not wish to have German taught they
have it in their power to carry out
their wishes by electing directors who
are of their way of thinking. The
interference of the legislature in local
affairs is vicious principle.
There is certain amount of feeling
against German instruction in the
public schools, chiefly on the score of
expense. The School Board is cramp-
ed for money, and any expenditure
which can be saved in any one de-
partment can be pro6tably applied in
meeting pressing needs.
In justice TO the German element
of st. Louis, it should be remember
ed that the introduction of German
tuition was a great source of strength
to the then struggling public school
system. As long as German was ex-
cluded there were thousands of Ger
man families who, wishing to have
their children taught German, seat
them to the numerous private Ger
man schools which fourished in the
city. With the introduction of Ger
man tuition as q part of the public
school course, they transferred the
childred to the public schools and
established their success. It is well to
bear this little bit of local history 10
mind in dealing with the present
issue.

Last summer the Sedalia Democrat
denounced the Rev. Sam Jones as a
mountebank.. This winter the same
paper condemned, villifed slandered
and abused the Salvation Army and
applauds every body who has under.
taken to disturb their meetings. ANY
news paper that would uphold the
strikers and boycotters against law
and order could not be expected to up
hold any religious awakening calcu-
lated to make poor mortals any
better.

Maxwell, the hero of the Preller
murder, is not now alone in his glory.
An enterpri.ing Baltimorean with bis
example before him, killed an inmate
of his house and packed him into a
trunk. Thus it will be seen that no
matter how atrocious crime may be,
or how dangerous an exploit there are
always ready followers.

When the Scotch crofters rose as
one man to protest against an out

their miniature holdings, they were
denouced as rioters and an army sent
to suppress them. During Gladstone's

insisted on the crofter's grievance
being investigated, and special com.
mission was appointed with power to
adjust rents. In one case the com.

Her situation us q commercial meirOpo-
lis renders ii important that she should
also be u manufacturing city OF the first
order. Even now the manufactured prod
ucts Of the city are double the value OF
the capital invested. No place has more
advantages for this purpose than Mem
phis. Tho raw material, such ~ cotton,
iron, lumber, etc, is here in abundance,
and can be easily and cheaply obtained.
The Birmingham railroad, just completed,
will supply Memphis with all the neces-
sary raw materials, as will also the Mid
land, now b,ins rapidly pushed TO com
pletion.
The greatest advantage, however, for
manufactures, Is that the city will be the
very best market. Goods OF various kinds,
now manufactured elsewhere throughout
the country, are brought here for sale. A
change Of policy would result in untold
benefits. Nothing Gun prevent her from
remaining the unrivaled commercial me-

uring could easily be secured. Her railroad
connections are nearly perfect, being far SUI
